Chemical Resistance
- Excellent: Acids (dilute), alkalis, ketones, water, steam, ozone
- Good: Alcohols, glycols, brake fluids, silicone oils
- Not Recommended: Petroleum oils, fuels, mineral oils (use Nitrile instead)
Applications
- Laboratories: Bench protection, spill containment, chemical handling areas
- Chemical Plants: Walkways, flooring protection, gasket material
- Water Treatment: Tank lining, pump seals, chlorine-resistant surfaces
- Food Processing: Wash-down areas, cleaning chemical zones
- Pharmaceutical: Clean room flooring, sterilisation areas
Why Choose EPDM for Chemical Resistance?
EPDM rubber offers superior resistance to polar chemicals, ozone, and weathering compared to standard SBR rubber. Its exceptional steam and hot water resistance makes it ideal for high-temperature cleaning environments. For oil and fuel resistance, consider our Nitrile rubber sheets instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is EPDM rubber resistant to acids?
Yes, EPDM offers excellent resistance to dilute acids, alkalis, and many industrial chemicals. It's widely used in chemical processing and laboratory environments for this reason.
Can EPDM withstand steam cleaning?
Yes, EPDM has outstanding steam and hot water resistance up to +120°C, making it ideal for environments requiring regular steam cleaning or sterilisation.
What thickness for chemical spill protection?
For general bench protection 3mm is sufficient. For floor areas with foot traffic, we recommend 6mm. For heavy equipment areas, choose 10mm thickness.
